The only downer is that now I have to find somewhere to live. With CLS that would've been taken care of. WIth the wife at Columbia dental (who's housing is mediocre and costly) and me at NYU it's up in the air.

I know what you mean. I'm in a similar (worse even) situation. The SO might end up at a school in valhalla, one hour north of NYC. So I need to find a place in between that makes commuting feasible. The bronx?? Who knows.

I have to redact this. Surprisingly, CLS came through with a decent counter offer that in my situation makes all things basically equal on the financial side of things and greatly simplifies my living/commuting situation.

Then I have to redact this. No congrats for you, cross-town rival. Heh, just kidding. Glad things ended up even better for you! If columbia had matched NYU's money i would have beenm in the same situation with the commute being one of the only tie breakers. Anyway, good luck to you!
